Archaeologists discovered Quina scrapers used by early humans 400,000 years ago to diversify their prey towards fallow deer, showcasing technological adaptation for hunting and butchering smaller game.
The Quina scrapers, developed around 400,000 years ago, were crucial tools for processing hides and butchering deer after elephants disappeared, requiring specialized implements for hunting and processing smaller game.
The site where the Quina scrapers were found seems to have been sacred to prehistoric hunters, marking a shift in human diets and hunting practices towards more systematic processing of smaller animals like fallow deer.
